How to choose fresh and delicious duck meat
- To buy fresh duck, you should prioritize those that have just been slaughtered, with skin that is light pinkish-yellow.
- Additionally, you can check for freshness by pressing with your hand; if you feel good elasticity, then you should buy it!
- Absolutely do not choose ducks with dark skin or unusual bruises on the surface.

Prepare Ingredients
After purchasing the duck, cut it into bite-sized pieces (about the size of a matchbox), then place a pot on the stove, add 1/2 liter of water and the duck, and boil the duck on high heat until it boils, then discard the water and rinse the duck clean.
Effective Ways to Remove Duck Odor- To remove the odor from the duck, you can use coarse salt to rub on the surface of the duck meat, then use a mixture of alcohol and ginger to wash it again.
- Alternatively, you can also use a mixture of salt, lemon/vinegar to remove the odor from the duck meat; this is also an effective method that you should try.

Stir-frying duck meat
Place a pot on the stove, heat 2 teaspoons of chili oil, then add to the pot and sauté the ginger, garlic, lemongrass, and dried chili until fragrant.
Next, add the duck meat and stir well for about 5 – 7 minutes until the meat is firm. Add the soy sauce and dark soy sauce, and stir for about 3 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Braised duck meat
Add 1 bowl of water (rice bowl) to cover the meat. Boil the meat on high heat for 10 – 15 minutes; when the pot starts to boil, skim off the foam, then reduce the heat to low and simmer.
Remember to open the pot lid during cooking and skim off any remaining foam. Occasionally stir the meat to ensure it absorbs the water evenly while braising.
Braise for about 30 minutes until the liquid in the pot reduces to a slightly thick consistency, then turn off the heat. Check the seasoning and adjust to your taste before turning off the heat.
